02-06-2014

Let’s kick off the week with a fine act of philanthropy. A man from France bagged a Euro Millions jackpot worth $98 million, but will give away $68 million to good causes. That’s what we call a generous deed.

Several good causes

The lottery winner in question has promised to split the prize money between multiple organizations that help people who struggle with financial problems. He asked that his name be kept confidential. French media claim that the man from the Haute-Garonne region has no partner, nor kids.

It’s all about sharing

“The winner shows that big-hearted people still exist”, read a statement from the Francaise des Jeux (FDJ). French media also praise the act in relation to the image of time. Despite winning a multimillion jackpot, the man demonstrates the true meaning of life. His generous deed underlines that life is all about sharing.
